Stunning Sunday
Remember last Sunday when I showed you a photo of egg cartons with dirt in them? Well I’m very excited to announce that some of them are growing already! Sunflower Cucumber
Selvedge Saturday
Today I’m showing off something someone else made. Before Christmas I signed up for a pay-it-forward over at Lino Forest and this week my gift arrived! I carried it all the way from the letter box thinking ‘I hope it’s an owl, I hope it’s an owl..’ and guess what? ...
Foodies Friday
I’m feeling a little slack tonight and may not cook. So instead here’s a food related reminder for all people local: The Croydon Farmer’s Market is on tomorrow morning from 8am -1pm. Rush on down for yummy breads, meats, veggies, wines… It’ll be a nice morning for it!

Munchy Monday
I almost forgot to take a shot of tonight’s dinner – luckily I remembered before it was completely devoured. Ren’s make-it-up-as-you-go Potato Bake 3-4 large potatoes, sliced 1 brown onion, sliced Chunk of left over Christmas ham, diced. (or any ham!) Bunch of chives, chopped ...
Stunning Sunday
I think I need to change the Stunning Sunday title, stunning isn’t a word that comes to mind when looking at todays gardening project! I decided it was time to try raising some seeds. There were a few packets kicking around the house and a quick trip to Bunning’s yielded some ...
